The Credit Agreement amends and restates our current Credit Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2013, by and among ONE Gas, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender, a letter of credit issuer and a lender and the other lenders and letter of credit issuers parties thereto.

The Credit Agreement will be a $700 million revolving unsecured credit facility, which will include a $20 million letter of credit subfacility and a $60 million swingline subfacility.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we will be able to request an increase in the commitments of up to an additional $500 million upon satisfaction of customary conditions, including receipt of commitments from either new lenders or increased commitments from existing lenders.

The Credit Agreement matures on October 5, 2022. We will be able extend the maturity date, subject to the lenders’ consent, by one year up to two times.

The Credit Agreement contains various customary conditions to borrowing, and customary affirmative, negative and financial ratio maintenance covenants. The Credit Agreement also contains various customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in a termination of the lenders’ commitments and the acceleration of all of our obligations thereunder.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is not complete and is in all respects subject to the actual provisions thereof, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated by reference herein.
